• Vitamin D: Sun exposure is a natural source of vitamin D for poultry.
• Vitamin A: Found in foods such as carrots, pumpkins and leafy greens.
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage.
• Vitamin B-complex: This group of vitamins is essential for proper metabolism and nerve health.
• Probiotics: Probiotics can help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the digestive system of hens.
• Minerals: In addition to calcium, other mineral salts, such as phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, are important for bone health and overall body function in hens.
